About the Hot Air Balloon Regatta
The Columbus Day Festival’s Hot Air Balloon Regatta is one of the fastest-growing attractions in Southeast Kansas, featuring 20 hot air balloons from all over the region.
Friday night kicks off with a stunning balloon glow, where glowing colors light up the night sky in a spectacular display. Saturday and Sunday feature thrilling Hare & Hound balloon races, with multiple launches throughout the weekend (weather permitting).
Each balloon and pilot is proudly sponsored by members of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and local businesses, making this a true hometown tradition.
One Town. Two Great Events. Endless Memories.
Whether you're a car enthusiast, balloon fan, or just looking for a fun weekend, Columbus is the place to be October 11-12, 2025. Join us for a celebration of community, creativity, and horsepower—both on the ground and in the sky.
